In October 1992 the new Jiangying Airport was built at the current location with an investment of 77 million yuan, and the old airport was closed. The new runway was 1,800 meters long and 45 meters wide. In 1998 the airport was expanded at a cost of 22.8 million yuan, lengthening the runway to 2,300 meters.
